  determined 
  by 
  him 
  to 
  be 
  of 
  Upper 
  Jurassic 
  age. 
  The 
  fact 
  of 
  these 
  

   fossils 
  having 
  been 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  basalt 
  also 
  influenced 
  Dr. 
  Nansen 
  

   in 
  referring 
  this 
  rock, 
  in 
  part 
  at 
  least, 
  to 
  the 
  Jurassic 
  period. 
  

   Evidences 
  of 
  recent 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  relative 
  level 
  of 
  land 
  and 
  sea 
  

   are 
  referred 
  to 
  in 
  Dr. 
  Hansen's 
  book.

  Jackson's

  built 
  on 
  an 
  old 
  beach 
  40 
  to 
  50 
  feet 
  above 
  sea-level, 
  and 
  other 
  

   beaches 
  were 
  found 
  at 
  still 
  greater 
  elevations. 
  Raised 
  beaches 
  

   were 
  also 
  observed 
  farther 
  north, 
  in 
  the 
  neighbourhood 
  of 
  the 
  hut 
  

   in 
  which 
  Dr. 
  Nansen 
  wintered. 
  

  

  A 
  number 
  of 
  geological 
  specimens 
  were 
  sent 
  home 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Jack- 
  

   son 
  and 
  his 
  party 
  when 
  the 
  Windward 
  returned 
  in 
  1895, 
  and 
  a 
  

   short 
  note 
  on 
  some 
  of 
  these 
  was 
  appended 
  by 
  our 
  colleague, 
  Mr. 
  G. 
  

   Sharman, 
  and 
  one 
  of 
  us

  Montefiore

  of 
  the 
  

   expedition.
